She is voiced by Catherine O'Hara.

Background[]

Personality[]

She is a very strong woman since she is a gym teacher. Despite being a teacher, she is a hot head who gets mad easily. She seems to not be very intelligent, such as when she falsely claimed of knowing more science than the students; furthermore, she preferred that the best student win the science fair. Despite being a strong independent woman, she is scared of rats (like the Were-Rat).

Physical Appearance[]

She is tall, rather young in the face, has dark hair with two ponytails. Her only wardrobe consists of a tracksuit, although she wore padding and a hat as an umpire. Her facial expression usually tends to be a scowl. Being a gym teacher, she has an athletic build; she also appears to be very busty as her breasts tend to bounce in certain scenes in the movie.
